Abstract:
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media are provided for predetermining adjustment objects and modifying vehicle lighting unit(s) accordingly. A vehicle lighting system can comprise an imaging device configured to image the surroundings of a vehicle and a data communications device configured to obtain vehicle route data. A controller element can be configured to predetermine presence of an adjustment object based on route data and imaging data. The system is configured to set the beam mode of at least one vehicle lighting unit based on the predetermination. A method can comprise the steps of (a) obtaining vehicle route data, (b) obtaining vehicle surroundings image data, (c) predetermining the occurrence of an adjustment object based on the route data and imaging data and (d) setting the vehicle beam mode based on the predetermination.
